Register to Vote

Untitled Document

Register to Vote The first step in exercising your right to vote is registering with the city clerk, county clerk, or Secretary of State. Registering is easy, and Michigan is on the cutting edge of providing voting information electronically; most of what you'll need can be found on the state's website. At the Michigan Voter Information Center you can determine if you are registered to vote, find a polling place, or get your elections questions answered online.

In order to register, you must be:
		a U.S. citizen;
		at least 18 years of age by election day;
		a resident of Michigan and the city or township where you are applying to register to vote.

First-Time Voter?

If you have never voted in Michigan and register by mail, you must appear in person to vote in the first election in which you wish to participate. This requirement does not apply if:
(1)	You personally hand-deliver the voter registration form (PDF) to your county, city, or township clerk's office instead of mailing the form;
(2)	You are 60 years of age or more;
(3)	You are disabled, or;
(4)	You are eligible to vote under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

If you have never voted in Michigan and register by mail, you may also be subject to a new identification requirement provided under federal law. The identification requirement is explained on the voter registration form (PDF).
